There have been xp nerfs to certain mobs in game which lends to the fact that certain mobs get more and some get less xp per kill, the same goes for those mobs in AE. For custom created mobs it all depends on what they are given as attacks/defense that determines the amount of xp rewarded, no custom mob can have greater than the 100% xp max, some mobs in game can give more.
AFAIK, the positive enemy XP modifiers do not apply to AE defeats, while the negative ones do. At least, that was the case when Archie was developing Dropstats, and I was testing enemy inf drops for him, so in autumn 2009. (Wow, time flies.) Might be worth checking again, but it was certainly true back then.

Death is part of my attack chain.
Note: The above-normal XP mods in Culex's list no longer apply in the AE. If a critter gives lower-than-normal XP in the "standard" game, it gives lower-than-normal XP in the AE. If a critter gives higher-than-normal XP in the "standard" game, it gives normal XP in the AE. Edit: Whoops, scooped.
So, no, there are supposed to be no mobs that are better XP per defeat in AE. (If any still do exist, it's an oversight/bug.) However, that doesn't mean there are no mobs that are better XP per time. This is a function of the critters being easier for you to defeat due perhaps to some vulnerability, or perhaps because you are highly resistant to damage they deal. How the critters' powers interact with their AI can also matter; for example, if they have mostly melee attacks, those mobs will probably nicely cluster around you, facilitating defeat by strong PBAoEs.

Most people makes missions in AE for a certain type of damage they want the enemy to do. But I'm just wondering if anyone knows if all enemies from AE missions gives out the same exp per kill? (not asking just about custom groups, but even the enemy groups from the game)
I've tried searching to see if this has been discussed before but I couldn't find anything if it has been.
If there is a group that gives the most exp that someone is aware of, please let me know.
Thanks!!!
